If you had a dream of the Toronto Raptors tanking at the beginning of April, your reality is looking very different right now. All of a sudden, the team is in a dogfight of a playoff race — one of three teams that have gotten hot at the strangest time, with the Wizards (five straight wins) and Bulls (two straight wins) also chasing the tenth and final play in seed in the East.
Also, the team is getting healthy? It’s been legitimate weeks since Toronto has had any semblance of a full roster — whether it be because of COVID-19 protocols, injuries, or just (wink wink) rest days.
